Voice
of Bart Simpson Graduates from the L.A. Racing Experience
Driving School

LOS ANGELES, CA – January 16, 2007

As
most people spent Sunday watching the NFL Playoffs,
Nancy Cartwright, Emmy winning voice of Bart Simpson,
spent the day with NASCAR development driver and founder
of Freedom Motorsports Group Inc., Kenton Gray, at Southern
California’s premier driving school, L.A. Racing
Experience at Irwindale Speedway. Gray, who plans on
running in the ARCA Re/Max Series this season, mentored
and instructed avid NASCAR fan, Cartwright, for 8 hours
between class and track time. “I knew racecar
drivers were good, but had no idea until Sunday the
physical and mental conditioning one must endure to
competitively compete each weekend” said Cartwright.
“Kenton’s driving experience and instruction
in class and on the track was instrumental to my success”
continued Cartwright.

Gray, a racer since the age of 10, played a significant
role Sunday by spending time prior to the school with
Cartwright educating her on all the racing terminology
so come Sunday, Cartwright was ready to strap in and
go racing. “This was one of my career highlights
to have had the opportunity to play a role in Nancy’s
driving development” said Gray. “Now I only
hope she continues to have record-setting success as
the voice of Bart Simpson and as executive producer
of The Kellys (animated series TeamKellyRacing.com),
otherwise I may have more competition come race day,”
continued Gray.

Cartwright was not the only student Sunday at L.A.
Racing Experience, 17 other racing and driving enthusiasts
also participated for part of the day and were pleasantly
surprised they had the opportunity to drive with a top
Hollywood celebrity. “Our driving school is unique
to most others in the country” said Jim Cohen,
owner of L.A. Racing Experience. “We’re
just minutes from Hollywood, so it’s an easy drive
for celebrities and race fans alike to come out and
feel the speed of a high-banked oval in real racecar.

Cartwright’s animated production company, SportsBlast,
which produces The Kellys (an animated series developed
with Turner Sports New Media) and Gray’s Freedom
Motorsports Group Inc., recently announced a creative
and unique marketing alliance. The alliance offers sponsors
and advertisers a first of it’s kind marketing
channel that includes a ARCA RE/MAX Series and NASCAR
Busch Series competition package, branded contents and
product integration in a racing animated series, as
well as, a reality-based television series scheduled
to air in 2007. “Having Nancy successfully complete
the driving school at L.A. Racing Experience really
gave her the opportunity to experience what Kenton will
face each weekend,” said Jason Potter, president
of Dynamic Motorsports Consulting, who represents Kenton
Gray, Freedom Motorsports Group and The Kellys and their
motorsports interest.
